      @Sean Michael Slater Is the numbness a result of the malocclusion or did you have some injury?
      I first had a night guard made, to ameliorate issues with the TMJ ("chewing joint"), which helped a lot. Currently I'm wearing those clear plastic braces (invisalign) which are correcting the malocclusion and also gave me more tongue space. I also found a speech therapist who knows about myofunctional therapy (how to position tongue, how to swallow).
      Try to contact Dr. Mew through their website.
      Good luck!

      @@daralillyluchen3722 'it is just more difficult' No, there are no cases of mewing as an adult producing measurable changes. There are none on Mew's website. It's Emperor's clothes syndrome, there are no measurements just before and after pics from different angles and they say 'Look! Look at the massive change!' and there isn't any change in structure, only posture. I actually think Mew knows structural changes aren't possible in adults but if he doesn't promise that then people wont do it and it won't catch on with kids, ie the people who would actually benefit.

  • @bluesummers5051
    @bluesummers5051 4 месяца назад +1

    Forever grateful for these older videos. After watching many of them, I have learned that I have a class 4 bite, evident by my caved in teeth and splinting. I have always had proper tongue posture, but my buccinators are huge. My teeth drift apart and my tongue spreads into the gaps. This causes me to use my cheeks to swallow and greatly decreases the force on my hard palate, which I think has led to poor inner U face development. This hanging of the jaw also engages the buccal muscles and has lengthened my face. However, I still managed to develop very defined cheekbones without my teeth touching. Could the force on my soft palate have been enough to create these results? Or maybe I’ve been clenching in my sleep without even knowing. Still many things to learn!

You also mentionsd it will take a year to notice any difference. I've been doing it for a week and I can already see some difference. Just wondering if this method is for me, if so, please let me know. It'll make my life easier.

    I think im perfect number 2. 34-35mm, slight malloclusion in my lower incisors, canines are slightly rotated, retroclined upper incisors and because of that lower teeth are worn. 2/3 of my tongue rests on my palate, but the back third does not. I wanted to have nice smile and went to an ortho. Decided for an invisalign and he performed ipr in my lower jaw - 6 places between my incisors 0.4mm to make room to align the teeth. I'm not sure if that was a good idea? He also said that he sees a buccal corridors in my smile and he wants to improve that so I guess hes gonna widen the arch but can this be done via invisalign? I'm in week 3 of 23 weeks treatment, but he said that it is just first phase of the treatment, and the whole will last about 16-18 months.

      You are moving things slowly which will result in some minor soreness and even headaches for a short time.

    Anyone into singing. Don't do these bullshit things... definitely will destroy your tongue freedom and your singing abilities will be drastically reduced. My experience... decision is yours anyway
